A DISCIPLE HUNGERS FOR TRUTH

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…" (Matthew 28.19)I shared Jesus with a young man and he was very interested in learning more. I told him to begin reading the Gospel of Mark and we would talk about it the next time we got together.By our next meeting, he had not only read Mark --but Matthew, Luke and halfway through John, too. He really wanted to know Jesus, which was a demonstration of his hunger. He soon became a follower of Jesus and sure enough, God used the Living Word to change his thinking and his eternity (Heb 4.12, John 6.68). In every true disciple, there is a hunger for truth. They long to be set free from the bonds of lies and deception of this world and our enemy Satan (John 8.32). They boldly step into the light with integrity (John 3.21, Ephesians 5.9). Ultimately, it translates into a hunger for Jesus Himself (John 4.16; 18.37). A disciple of Jesus hungers for the truth!
